I too feel a lot of sympathy for her, and wish more of the criticisms from professional journalists were directed at the CCP themselves, instead of a young girl from Melbourne.
The only point I'd like to correct you on is that Andrea Yu isn't a pseudonym.Thanks for providing a breath of fresh air and a bit of sanity in a rather nasty environment.

That establishment is the communist party in China, and the world must challenge the chinese communist party, because it at times exemplifies corrupt antics, dishonesty, and by any standard: criminality.The title “Back off…., view from China” says it all about Kway Teow’s allegiance: he is repeating the unconscious or ‘unsolicited’ expression of the ‘establishment’s’ view.

World ........... ending ............ now!
There are plenty of working journalists in Australia who ask questions every bit as dorothy dixer to our pollies under the guise of actual news.
And there is the entire right wing media propaganda unit who ask the most benign questions of TA et al while berating the Prime Minister for turning up late to a radio show.
I think only journalists think there is a clear line between journalism and PR these days, and I doubt any of them would defend ALL of their supposedly bone fide colleagues.
Storm - teacup.Shock horror, PR person impersonates actual journalist.

I think the critism of Andrea is a bit over the top. Many journalists ask questions to satisfy the demands of their employers rather than asking the toughest or most important questions. It's a pity there wasn't a bit more attention paid to which journalists asked what questions and why at every media event. It would shed quite a lot of light on how the media works around the world, not just in China.A pseudonymous journalist writing about another (possibly) pseudonymous journalist who has been the subject of scrutiny by other journalists.

Sad that at an event as managed as the CCP Congress so many experienced Journo's see Andrea's rise to prominence as the big story.Well done Andrea, a young Journo learning the ropes. A better example of her work is here: http://www.camg-media.com/en/index.php?c=article&m=detail&id=42

Tellingly, no discussion - let alone criticism - of the direct and/or indirect employers of this poor patsy either. The closest our correspondant comes to this issue is ludicrously supposing that Ms Hodgkinson could be covertly working towards circumventing a propaganda machine posing as a journalistic outlet from the inside. Surely there are more deserving targets for our pity or sympathy than this defence of the indefensible?An extraordinary article, and an extraordinary defence of deceitful, dishonest conduct by someone purporting to be a journalist.
